>"I - me, an individual, a committee of one.
>PLEDGE - dedicate all of my wordly goods to give without self-pity.
>ALLEGIANCE - my love and my devotion.
>TO THE FLAG - our standard, Old Glory, a symbol of freedom. Wherever
>she waves, there is respect because our loyalty has given her a
>dignity that shouts freedom is everybody's job.
>OF THE UNITED - that means that we have all come together.
>STATES - individual communities that have united into 50 great
>states. 50 individual communities with pride and dignity and purpose,
>all divided with imaginary boundaries, yet united to a common
>purpose, and that's love for country.
>OF AMERICA.
>AND TO THE REPUBLIC - a state in which sovereign power is invested in
>representatives chosen by the people to govern. And government is the
>people and it's from the people to the leaders,not from the leaders
>to the people.
>FOR WHICH IT STANDS.
>ONE NATION - meaning, so blessed by God.
>INDIVISIBLE - incapable of being divided.
>WITH LIBERTY - which is freedom and the right of power to live one's
>own life without threats or fear or some sort of retaliation.
>AND JUSTICE - The principle or quality of dealing fairly with others.
>FOR ALL - which means it's as much your country as it is mine."

>One last quote by Mr. Skelton."Wouldn't it be a pity if someone
>said,"That's a prayer" and that would be eliminated from
>schools,too!"
